Fuh-KHEW! Gesundheit

Kendra Turner, a senior at Dyer County HighSchool, said bless you to her classmate who sneezed and the teacher told her that the term was for church.

“She said that we’re not going to have godly speaking in her class and that’s when I said we have a constitutional right,” Turner told WMC.

When she defended her actions, the teacher told Turner to see an administrator. The student said that she had to finish the class period in in-school suspension.

The girl’s parents were told by school leaders that their daughter shouted “bless you” across the room and that it was a classroom distraction.

The predictable nailing of selves to crosses by the usual martyrqueens ensued.These bedwetters have either never attended a high school outside of their parents' basement or have never passed an i.q. test. Or both. This particular wheeze has been around at least as long as there have been spoiled punks with limited imaginations and no hope of accomplishing anything in their lives.

Of course what's interesting is that the custom comes from the Medieval belief that when you sneezed your sole left your body and "bless you" was meant to keep a demon from stealing it. Kind of Papist.
